5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

[Donuts_]

Should be dropped until he can grow up.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Hmmm

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Completely reckless and unnecessary.

Arrogance without the ability.

 

[JimmyBC]

He's got no filter lol

 

[Doggy]

 

[DamoESP]

Touching cloth.

OK now he's out ill go

I’ll be joining ya

 

[Cleavy]

just needed to play the long game and aim for the not out.

 

[windyhill]

Yeah not loving the trying to hit a 6 off every second ball, needs some patience

He doesn't value his wicket.

 

[Outtatym]

Alot of maturity to be done..will be a decent white ball player though

 

[cats_09]

On top of the bowling by playing good shots - didn't need to do something stupid like that

I know we don't want him to do a complete backflip on his approach, but that's the sort of shot that wasn't needed and maybe where a senior teammates could have bit of a chat

 

[RAPPA]

Nooooo ruuuuuuun. Never get sick of it.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This is the worry we will continue to have with Konstas. All the ability in the world but his aptitude for Test cricket is sadly lacking.

 

[Shifty1]

Good technique. Will hold up long term...

 

[scottywiper]

Konstas is as dumb as a post . Was doing it easily and just threw it away with a rubbish shot

 

[BG32]

More than McWeeney would have done

 

[dumb]

we've seen what happens if you hang the bat. have to leave or play decisively. wild slogs are another thing altogether.

 

[Toffee Lion]

I love his confidence, everyone does but time to reel it in hey Sam if you want to stick around.

 

[RandB]

1/39 is ok but that shot by Konstas was utterly mindless. If he just kept his head a 50 was beckoning.

 

[Lunchtime]

At least McSweeney would fight for his wicket. I mean sure he was thrown into the fire but he tried to fight.

Konstas - no accountability at all. Diabolical...

 

[GreekLunatic]

Him and pant are do it quick and not patient enough

 

[manureid]

Kid still has no game sense. Needs to realise he doesn't have to play every shot like a t20 game

 

[Gak Attack]

Can't afford that with how flakey the top order is.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

When you're picked to open you're expected to do a job. They sacked McSweeny for less

How many runs did McSweeney get in 4 innings?

I'm a fan of Nathan. Not as the opener though.

 

[smasha]

Just a little patience.
Nerves kicking in.

 

[craffles]

Konstas has potential but his constant need to play like it's T20 is not going to suit test cricket in the long run.

Might work for an innings here or there but statistically his style won't work. Needs to adapt.

Good showing if he wants IPL action though.

People said that about Warner too.
